Becoming a dealer....

Our Beginning In 1997 HGA began its mission to develop the finest audio cable products. Our founder was intrigued with the idea of using ultra-high-purity silver wire as the core material in the construction of a series of fine audio cables. Used in the medical research industry for its superior electrical strengths and physical properties, silver was starting to be recognized for its superior sonic characteristics within the hi-fi community. These materials were a natural choice for building audio products designed to deliver uncompromising performance.

Continued Commitment Determined to make a contribution to high-end audio, over the years HGA has continued to invest in the research, materials, and infrastructure that have enabled our complex designs to become a reality. While industry advantages such as proprietary computer-modeling software and customized machinery have become essential in our design process, we also like to think it is our commitment to detail that sets us apart. To this day, HGA's employees utilize the same surgical precision that has been applied to our designs since day one.

Smart Growth As our company has grown so has its diversity. Indeed, HGA benefits from the talents and contributions of numerous professionals with greatly varied experience. This includes individuals with backgrounds in physics, medicine, human physiology, music, and more than thirty years of experience in electrical engineering. But most importantly, we still consider ourselves to be music lovers at heart. (back to top)

The Best Materials Available We purchase large quantities of the raw materials used to make our silver wire from the finest suppliers across the United States. Together with the expertise of these well-chosen partner companies, we confidently offer the best quality silver wire currently available from any source.

To further illustrate how this is accomplished, each month we purchase thousands of ounces of high-purity (99.99%) silver directly from a precious metals refiner who specializes in lab-grade products. We start with a guaranteed product from a reliable and reputable source.

Flawless Production The raw silver is precisely drawn into wire via a slow and labor-intensive process that ensures perfect uniformity. The company we contract with for this part of production caters primarily to the medical/research community. Their expertise provides an exceptionally thin and uniform product not available elsewhere.

Finally, the finest Teflon™ insulation is applied to the substrate wire. This results in an insulated wire with the highest possible conductivity and best dielectric properties available.

While the best raw materials are essential, much of what we have to offer revolves around the braid geometries used in our cables. All braiding and other essential steps of production are done in-house with tremendous care and scrutiny. HGA has invested in multiple customized industrial braiding machines over the years, which allow us to produce essentially any cable geometry imaginable. (back to top)

Your Business Benefits Building a partnership with HGA helps you manage risk right from the start. A modest investment is all that is necessary to gain instant access to discounts on difficult to obtain materials, proprietary processes, and a knowledge base that will help you succeed. These benefits are derived from extensive experience, high-volume purchasing, and well-established industry partnerships.

Creating A Brand Establishing an exclusive in-house brand affords many benefits compared to simply reselling a line that hundreds of competing dealers also have in their showcase. Based on your input, we can build a custom product that is specifically tailored to your target customer. You'll be in complete control over all design considerations including component selection and various finishing options related to your products.

Best of all, as the exclusive source for your product, you'll experience the benefits of having no direct sales competition, flexibility in pricing, and guaranteed repeat sales from customers that are loyal to your brand. Gone will be the days of repeatedly demonstrating products for prospects only to lose the sale to another merchant who can sell the same product for a few dollars less!

Other Partnership Benefits Whether it's sourcing a special material, providing turn-key manufacturing solutions, or drop shipping materials to your customers, you'll have an experienced partner and industry liaison to help you get it done. (back to top)
